Decent bed for the price. Made in Vietnam so there are some blemishes here and there. And the assembly instructions, while clear, are diagram only and should be reviewed carefully as not to put parts backwards, etc. Takes a healthy amount of time to assemble as well.
The only real con I see is that the mattress slats are 1 or 2 shy from seemingly really sturdy and I may add a few. Where as Ikea would put 11 or 12 down, this bed only does 7 so less/rigid foam mattresses seem to bow through the open areas a tiny bit. Does not seem dangerous, they just did the minimal. But its not a 1200 bed.
The savings is in your time and effort.
